This is a great way to see the sights that interest you the most, learn more about them and also understand the significance from a local point of view. Our guide Olivier was engaging and informative, and made subtle changes during the tour to accommodate our needs. Definitely worth the cost.

highly recommended, the ability to customize your tour to your likely was an amazing experience! First time in Paris, was a very helpful tour to get the highlights of Paris.
Excellent service. On our pace with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Walking a lot, but worthy. Great experience.
If you are looking for a great site visit/educational tour, this is the one to pick. My husband and I were visiting Paris for the first time and did the full day tour. Our tour guide, Floriane, was absolutely amazing. She not only brought us to Notre-Dame and the Louvre but around the city as well. She taught us how to navigate the metro which will be very helpful the remainder of our trip. She also showed us several little hidden gems and let us shop a bit. During our site visits her passion and knowledge about the sites/pieces were unbelievable. It was a very enjoyable day and if we come back to Paris, we would definitely want to book with her again. 15 out of 10!
It was fun, we learned a lot about every landmark, got to taste delicious pastries and we felt safe with our guide.
Great insights from our guide Max to a Parisian life and history. We would never have found the oldest church in Paris and most other places by ourselves. Would definitely recommend this experience also because it is so customizable to your preferences.
Helle was fabulous. Would definitely use her again. Very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. One of the best.
Very knowledgeable, good disposition, Carlos was great, full y recomended, Viator thank you also, great
Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and had a great personality. You could tell he loved the city and wanted to show us his favorite places. Definitely worth it!
Floriane was amazing! She allowed for us to see our priority sites and made adjustments as needed. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the city and allowed us a taste of Paris and ideas for what we will do upon our return.
OMG!!! What an absolutely AMAZING tour of Paris! 🇫🇷✨ We hired SuSu (I hope I’m spelling that correctly!) as our driver, and Mathieu was our tour guide. From the moment they met us at the Eurostar train station, the experience was wonderful! Our tour was personalized just for us, making the entire day feel special and tailored to our interests. We got to see so many of Paris’s iconic treasures, but what made this tour truly exceptional was discovering several hidden gems that we might never have found on our own. We saw and experienced so much in one day that it’s honestly hard to put it all into words! Mathieu was fantastic, and having a personalized tour made all the difference. If you’re visiting Paris and want to make the most of your time, we HIGHLY recommend booking a private, personalized tour with Mathieu. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Mathieu and SuSu, for helping make our day in Paris such a memorable experience. It was truly a highlight of our trip! ❤️
Helle was an awesome tour guide! Took us to Notre Dame Cathedral first and then to the Louve where she got us right in by using a side entrance and bypassed the long lines that were out front! Used the Metro to get around the city which worked out Great! We then went to see the Arc de Triomphe which was totally Amazing! Could not have had a better day or experience! Loved it!
Outstanding way to tour Paris. Guide meet us at our hotel and customized our tour. Yago, our tour guide, was outstanding. He was a wealth of information on the sites we visited.
This half-day tailored tour was a terrific experience. I wanted to explore and learn more anout Le Marais and Belleville and Mathieu put together a wonderful tour meeting me at my hotel and heading off by Metro. Mathieu's extensive knowledge about these areas and their history and present day characteristics brought these areas onto focus. We also discussed Notre Dame - the 2019 fire and magnificent reconstruction. His insights were very interesting. Mathieu's deep knowledge of and pride in Paris and his warm and positive nature and engaging conversations made this ecperience a real treat and memorable experience. Merci beaucoup for this wonderful tour!
This experience can be customized especially for you. You tell your guide what your goals are and he creates a wonderful day.
Our tour guide Philipe arrived at our meeting spot timely and took is everywhere we wanted to go and shared his knowledge with us!! We were both impressed and appreciative of his love for his city. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our time seeing the famous sights of Paris!!
Dominique was great and we had an amazing time! Fully customizable, this was an efficient but also a pleasant way to explore the city. We did full day, which is what I would recommend, as time flies fast. This was definitely a “quality over quantity” tour for us, we chose to experience the city, stop for coffee and lunch, do some shopping along the way vs run from one sight to another for a 15 minute photo stop just to “check the box”. Thank you, Dominique!
Maria was an extraordinary guide. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We asked many questions which she answered thoughtfully.
Our Tour Guide Jasmine was fabulous. Extremely knowledgeable about the area and how to navigate it. She was sociable, entertaining, considerate and kind. She spoke excellent English. We highly recommend her.
We saw everything we wanted to see! The tour was an amazing experience! A full day gave us a chance to experience a Paris cafe as well as lunch!
This is the ONLY way to see all of Paris in one day! Our tour guide and driver were absolutely the very best. We got to see so much more than expected especially because the Pope was in town as well as Fashion Week was getting started.
Virginia was great and very accommodating. Her knowledge was over the top especially on middle age history as it applys to the greater Paris area.
Maria is amazing. Best way to see neighborhoods, learn history. Efficient use of time. We learned so much about 4th and 5th neighborhoods. Maria tailored trip to what other things we had booked.
We were on a cruise and had a short stay in port so we reserved a 1/2 day tour in Paris. We wanted to make the most of the little time we had to spend in Paris, and our tour guide Maxx, did just that. He provided a very enjoyable tour of Paris that included places that were in our must do list, but Maxx also took us to places that he thought we would enjoy. Although our stay in Paris was brief, I Maxx definitely helped us make the most of our time spent in Paris. Thank you Maxx!
Great experience! Hele was knowledgeable, smart and great listener! Our pace was perfect. Learned a ton
Great day seeing the sights in Paris. Our guide, Virginnie, was very knowledgable and also willing to work with our schedule. Would reccomend for first time visitors.
We had a wonderful day with Audrey learning about Paris as the Parisians see it. She chose an itinerary which matched our interests and helped us understand the various neighborhoods and how they evolved into what they are today. She is very personable as well as knowledgeable. And she was very sensitive to our needs as we covered a lot of ground. She also went out of her way to help us find a specific unique souvenir we wanted. We would recommend her highly.
Floriane was so knowledgeable and willing to adjust the tour to our preferences. The pace was comfortable yet we saw so much of Paris in the three hours.
My husband and I ( both in our 60s) spent our first full day in Paris exploring for seven hours with Florian. We were a bit jet lagged so others might want to save this for day two lol. Florian taught us how to use the metro. We toured Notre Dame, Shakespeare and Co bookstore, Montmartre, Sacre Coeur and so many other places. We learned a great deal. By the end of the day Florian felt like a friend. We highly recommend this tour.
We enjoyed our full day private tour! Philippe was a wealth of knowledge. It was nice to have someone to point out all of the interesting facts about Notre Dame & the left bank. I would highly recommend!
Well planned, discussed with us in advance. Friendly, knowledgable and enthusiastic guide. Flexible approach, willing to adapt at short notice
Floriane was the gem of tour guides. So accommodating, knowledgeable and sweet. The history rolled off her tongue as if she had lived it, making every word visual. My grandson who's 20 loved it as well. She catered to all our needs and requests. We could not say enough to sing her praise. Thank you so much. It was a great intro to Paris. We have a landmarks and we are ready to explore on our own. Floriane also gave us a hands on lesson in maneuvering the metro. Loved the Day in Paris.
We had a wonderful full-day tour of Paris with Virginie! From the beginning, the company was very helpful and worked with us to create a great plan for the day based on what we wanted to see and experience. Virginie met us at our hotel right on time and was an excellent tour guide. She was charming, knowledgeable, and very personable. We especially enjoyed listening to her stories and learning about the history and different parts of Paris. She made the tour interesting and enjoyable throughout the entire day and was always happy to answer our questions. Virginie also recommended a fantastic place for lunch, which was a great addition to the experience. Overall, we were very happy with both the company and Virginie in particular. Great organization, excellent service, and a wonderful tour of Paris. We would definitely recommend them and would be happy to tour with Virginie again!
Phillip was knowledgeable, interesting and fun. We went everywhere I wanted to go. My Paris trip would not have been complete without the experience of a professional guide. Highly recommend!
Our tour guide Maria was amazing, she has an incredible knowledge of the history. Her personality made the trip really enjoyable.
We had the most beautiful guide in every aspect. Mareym is so knowledgeable, loves history. We learnt a lot from her. The 3.5 hour tour was the best thing we did in Paris, thereafter she told us places to visit during our spare time. It is a must to do this tour.
It isn't worth the money. The tour is 3 hours of walking. You were told it's customized to your liking, but it seems that way for the tour operator. We went into Montmartre walked around for 2 hours. Took a train into central Paris and walked around another hour. You don't see all the major attractions. My wife and I took a Big Bus Tour (Hop on Hop off) afterwards for $100 and saw all the major landmarks in 3 hours which include The Cathedral of Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Champ Elysees, The Louvre, and The Musee d'Orsay.
Our knowledgeable , experienced and fun loving guide Flow was a major reason why our time in Paris was a resounding success. We highly recommend this day tour.
We spent a lovely day in Paris with Floriane. We did the full day tour visiting the Louvre, Montmartre, and Notre Dame. Flo was extremely knowledgeable regarding the history of each place and was able to streamline our overall experience so we could see the highlights of our selected areas. Would highly recommend.
It was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. Will come back to Paris and tour with her again.
We were only going to be in Paris for one full day so we booked a full day walking tour of Paris. This was a great way to tick off most of the big ticket tourist items. Gerritt was our guide and he was fabulous. Very easy going and very easy to talk to. He kept us very entertained. Gerritt had to pivot a few time from his original planned itinerary due to some Metro lines being closed due to a Diplomatic visit - but he managed this well and we had a great time.
This company did a great job building a custom tour based off specific things you would like to see. Rob our tour guide was spot on. Met us at our hotel and started right from there. 4 hour walking tour with subways included. His english was fantastic, and his grasp of the city was equally as good. 5 Stars for Rob.
If you are handicapped and can afford it is worth the money to hire a private car for 500 more in addition to the tour fee. It think the extra fee was extravagant but it costs what it costs.
Phillipe gave us an amazing, accommodating, and wanderlust tour through Paris. He was sure to show us not only the landmarks and famous sights- but also helped us discover the hidden local gems of the city. He spoke perfect English and French to the point where local parisons were complimenting his english. He helped us order food with the correct pronunciation, showed us the history behind things, and embarked on an adventure fully tailored to our family and our needs. Fully customized and accommodated for us. Pick Phillippe’s tour if you want an intelligent, respectful, and incredibly funny guide. Thank you Philippe for an unforgettable experience. -Charlotte, Gwen, Hadley
We had a wonderful time touring Paris with Virginie! We started the day at 10 am with a walk to Notre Dame with stops along the way to describe what we were seeing. We took a short restroom break then traveled by Metro subway to Les Invalides to see Napoleon’s Tomb. Afterward we stopped to lunch at nice creperie. We again traveled by Metro to Montmarte to see artistic points of interest. At this point it was 5 pm.; we parted ways with Virginie and Ubered back to our hotel. We recommend Virginie without hesitation. She was born and raised in Paris amd has a deep knowledge and understanding of the city!!
Philip was friendly and quite knowledgeable. We spent an enjoyable morning touring Notre Dame and the Left Bank.
We learned so much from Floriane! She was the best guide! We toured both banks, the Notre Dame Cathedral and the quant streets of the left bank. Floraine and her team went above and beyond to make sure our tour was perfect.
I am convinced there is no better way to experience a city with a personal tour guide. Floriane was simply fantastic! She met our family at Gard du Nord, after a 6:00 am train ride on the Eurostar from London. Kind, welcoming and armed with a wealth of knowledge, we discovered Paris and experienced an abundance of culture within a few hours. Our three children loved the entire experience, complete with authentic French crêpes. Everything in Paris is difficult to be seen in one day, but we certainly made the most of it. I would highly recommend this tour and hope you will be fortunate enough to experience it with Floriane.
Dominic was excellent. He tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to see and offered a great experience on our first day in Paris! Thank you Dominic!! We enjoyed our time with you!
We had the pleasure to have Floriane “Flo” as our guide today. From the very beginning we knew we were fortunate to have her. We did a half day tour and it encompassed so much. As it was our first time in Paris, we wanted a general overview of many of the key historical sites or museums. I can’t even list all of the sites she taught us about because we saw so much. We had added focus on the Louvre and Notre Dame cathedral. We were amazed at Flo’s knowledge. She is the most educated &!progressional guide I have ever had. She kept our 11 year engaged as well as our teenagers. Her crescent & crepe recommendations were incredible as well. If you get a chance to have a private tour, Floriane is the guide you want.
